Hello! I am so glad you are here!

If our paths have crossed in the real world, you’ll know that I love all things creative; baking, crafts, nature, writing, music, cooking, painting, and more.

That joy of learning and experimenting began at an early age. I had the good fortune to have had parents who encouraged reading, creativity, curiosity, and discovery, so the world has always been a delightful place for me, if only in my imagination!

I thoroughly enjoy encouraging others to tap into their own creativity. You might have been to one of my Midwest library foodie programs, The Hangry Kitchen, or your child might have participated in a Naturally Creative class in North Carolina. If not, you can learn about those and other events in my quarterly newsletter, By the Book.

Throughout the year, my books can be found at Spire Coffee Shop in Aurora, Indiana, and at Novel Hearts in Versailles, Indiana.

From early spring through late fall, you will find me at regional fairs, festivals, and small town markets. Be sure to stop by and say hello! I’d love to hear about what you’re reading, creating, doing, and cooking!
